Hoping your still there after these years.I have been tracing what you have done here and there and find it adds to my work very well.It goes to Eleazer Birkhead and Johanne Naylor 1730.They had two boys and a girl then he died I can tell that James Birkhead must be your direct decendent.Johanne then married Leonard Thomas 1745-47 had one boy child Leonard Thomas.Then she died 1750.Leonard back up to the Naylor's - were the Birkhead boys old enough to take care of themselves or did they back up to the Birkhead Family.How did Johanne died?Do you know?How did Eleazer die?Was it from indian attack or child birth. Our side is from Leonard Thomas that would make us half brothers back then.If I can verify this a little more it is going to be an explosion on this half of the family.We have been looking for this connection for many years.When Leonard Thomas back-up to the Naylor family he was taken in by Johanne Cousin Dorcus Naylor for us this begins the extra interest.
